Hi, Andy!  Long time, no ...

I suggested to Gardner that he recommend to the reader who creates a
shell script called, say, "XXX", that he/she immediately create a Korn
shell alias
	alias XXX="XXX."
to make the operation more UNIX-like.

Does MKS "ls *" show all files or just the ones with filetypes?

Pete
